Florida Credit Unions - Action Alert on financial literacy

Financial literacy is an important issue for all Floridians. The League's GA team has been working with legislative leadership to promote the importance of financial literacy, including support for
SB 212 by Sen. Dorothy Hukill (R-Port Orange). Sen. Hukill's bill would require ½ credit in personal financial literacy as a prerequisite to HS graduation. Florida credit unions are asked to contact their lawmaker by visiting the
LSCU Action Center webpage. The letter is targeting members of the Senate Subcommittee on Education Appropriations. It is already preloaded and ready to go. If you have any questions, contact LSCU SVP, Association Services
Jared Ross at 866.231.0545 ext. 1012.
